If anyone else has motor car access, I'm uber keen to head to hills around Stirling (DumYat / Ben Cleugh) or GT / Inners for an evening ride. I can take me + 2.

If not this week, a consideration f'future, like.

If Rickos is going I'm going 😈

Will be at Roseburn at 1815, in fact I'll wait on the wee bridge just as you get into the park next to Murrayfield. Away from the road and all that jazz.

I was out in the pentlands for the first time this year on Tuesday 🙂 Anyone know how harehill is looking and the trails over towards Carlops - looking like my plans might have fallen through for tomorrow so thought i'd head out to the pentlands instead.
